Rekeweg said she's glad the park reclaimed the pavers before they began to deteriorate.

"It means a lot to us to be remembered because after all, we did put fires out, we rescued people, KAEMSA did their job, and we did it for free," Rekeweg said. "It's just special that people still remember about us."

A new cast-aluminum plaque sits atop a boulder on the east side of the park, also honors the volunteers.

The boulder was one of five 2,000 pound rocks moved from the site that once housed Kings Crossing Apartments at 4545 Kingwood Drive.

According to Burdette Huffman, with Lovett Commercial, the company purchased Kings Crossing Apartments in November 2014 and demolition was complete in April 2015.

"We have a piece of equipment called a Skid Steer. You basically have a grapple bucket that slides underneath the boulder and two appendages that grab it from the top and then you lift it up and you load it up on a trailer and then drive it to the park," Smith said.

Smith said the boulders traveled about a half-mile from the site of the former apartment complex and were moved in late May or early June. Two of the boulders now sit next to the flower beds around the flagpole.

The pavers were set in a permanent footing using a concrete foundation.

"There had always been a plaque in the park, but it was old and it deteriorated very badly. So we just thought that with all the pavers we could do a plaque as well. It serves as a permanent reminder of what those guys did," Tony Austin, Director of the Kingwood Town Center Park Association and board member of the Kings Crossing Community Association said.

Austin said an estimated 50,000 people visit the park each year.

Renovations to the park included improvements to the landscaping areas surrounding the flagpole and the repainting of benches located in the immediate vicinity.

He said he had fond memories of his father growing up and feels Kingwood was like "Mayberry", a small, close-knit, country town.

"The nice thing about Kingwood is if you needed a paramedic or fireman, chances are there was one down the street because everybody who was a member lived in the community. So the first responders were usually very close," Fuhre said.

Fuhre said the pavers were a way to pay tribute to first responders.

Mike Legoudes, a former paramedic, has "The Star of Life," an EMS symbol etched on a paver alongside his name.

"Everyone that had ever volunteered with any one of those three organizations, they put a brick paver out there for them and then they put a symbol on each paver to signify which agency that person was part of," Legoudes said.

"Some people had one symbol, some had two, some had three because there were some people who were members or volunteers with all three organizations."

Austin said that renovating the park is an ongoing process as there are often special projects that go into proper upkeep.

The park is owned by Kings Crossing Community Association. Five major events occur throughout the year.

Town Center Park also has a regular concert series Run by Keller Williams on the second Friday every month.

The Kingwood Farmers Market occurs every Thursday from 3-7 p.m.

Upcoming events include a fall car show on Oct. 11 and "Christmas in the Park 2015" on Dec. 5.
